Manitou Springs Fruitcake Toss

At last, the answer to that age-old question: How do I get rid of this fruitcake? People in Manitou Springs have found the answer. Throw it as far as you can, by any means that you can and hope it’s never found again. To be fair, separate prizes are given to numerous special tossing divisions. That is, athletes choosing to toss their fruitcakes by hand are not competing directly with those who use a catapult, giant slingshot or spud gun (or is that a fruitcake gun?). The day also includes Catch The Fruitcake where teams compete to see how many they can catch from their devices that launch them into the sky (Hand Tossing not allowed with the Catch Competition), and an Accuracy Competition in which teams compete to try to hit targets out in the field.
